The BOM is still fine when the php file does not include another Unicode file (by using @include()). Another problem: If a php file is saved in unicode, session and cookies can not be used because "headers already sent ...". I think the first 3 bytes has been sent in this case Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-08 10:57:30] [EMAIL PROTECTED] reassigning ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-08 06:10:51] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ok, the UTF-8 BOM was new to me. If i find the time i'll have a look at it over the weekend. I think the solution would be somewhere in zend's multibyte support since i fear adding that bom to mbstring alone does not do the trick. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-08 05:43:14] bugzilla at jellycan dot com derick, assuming that you wanted to create a version of the the example at http://www.php.net/manual/en/introduction.php#intro-whatis which displayed the text "Hi, I'm a PHP script" in multiple languages, how would you propose doing it? The only way is to use a form of unicode encoding. The least intrusive of these ways is utf-8 because it encodes the text in such a way that ascii characters (7 bit characters) are still plain ascii characters, and all encoded characters are always >128 and will never be mistaken for ascii. I haven't seen any documentation which states that php can only handle ascii text, please direct me to it if it exists. If there is some known problem with PHP parsing UTF-8 scripts, I haven't found it yet in a multitude of different files with different languages which PHP is parsing happily. The only problem that I have had is that any files which have an UTF-8 BOM, PHP is mistakenly outputting the BOM as input. This is a bug of PHP. The solution is easy, on loading a file, strip the BOM if it exists. Make it optional processing via a php.ini config argument if necessary. Don't be US-centric in your thinking, there is far more world existing outside those borders.
